Chapter 76, the breeze and the bright moon are pure and the heart is clear
The method of visualization was originally one of the methods used by monks after the psychic realm to strengthen the soul.
When the divine soul has just come out of the shell, although it is stronger than the mortal level, it is actually very fragile, and it cannot be directly nourished with spiritual power at this time, so the divine soul will directly not be able to withstand being destroyed. As a result, some masters have created the method of visualization, like the smoke and rain of spring, using a very small amount of energy and using the body as a medium to slowly strengthen the soul. True Qi piercing is also using the physical body as a medium to nourish the soul, but compared to the method of visualization, it is too low-level.
After several generations of experiments, the cultivators of the Taishang Sect have improved the method of visualization, so that the monks in the later stage of the Tempering Realm can also use this method to nourish the soul.
After listening to Song Fanyin's lecture on the method of visualization, Chen Qinglang began to experiment.
Visualization has to be meditative, so before that, there is a set of rituals.
Burn incense, take a bath, change into comfortable clothes, and then do a set of soothing movements, with the help of a sense of ritual, to calm your mind.
Each religion has its own specific rituals, and when people do these rituals, their hearts will be sacred and quiet, and their hearts will naturally calm down. This is also one of the functions of religious ceremonies.
After Chen Qinglang finished the preparations, he sat cross-legged on the mat, and the incense was burning in front of him, and the fragrance was light and lingering, which made people feel relaxed. At the same time, the consciousness entered the jade slip with the immortal technique, but did not look at the content of the jade slip, but with the help of the sound of water and wind in the jade slip, and the fragrance of the earth, he completely calmed down his mind.
Then he fantasized about his body, and the skin and flesh of his clothes gradually blurred and disappeared, revealing a glass statue sitting cross-legged. On the glass statue, there is a cold and bright moon hanging high, in the glass statue, the transparent glass wall is covered with sand-like impurities, in the abdomen of the glass statue, there is a fresh breeze generated, blowing everywhere, whenever the wind blows, there are some impurities are blown away, and that piece immediately becomes transparent and clear.
It is said to be a fantasy, but it is actually a way to look inside the soul.
Anyone can look at the shape of their soul, but only with a strong mind and a calm heart. This process of fantasy is actually the process of inward vision. But before the soul is strong enough to come out of the shell, no matter how strong the mind is, it can't be controlled to directly inspect the soul, so it is necessary to use fantasy to investigate.
This is just like Chen Qinglang's first manifestation of his divine sense, thinking about "going in and going in", this process of thinking is actually a process of exertion.
It's just that the soul is too weak, and the consciousness is too weak, and people can't feel that kind of power.
The same is true of the method of visualization, if you can't feel the power, you can't control the power, so you have to change the method, the visualization requires the power of the spirit, but this power has a goal, which is to see the glass statue.
This is a process of unconsciously making force look inward, and it is a clever way to use energy.
People may be able to imagine a glass figure, but it can't last long, and they can't think about that shape clearly and truly, so only when they really perceive the shape of the soul, will the glass image remain in their minds.
When Chen Qinglang first started fantasizing, it was like fantasizing about the appearance of a beautiful woman while masturbating before learning to play A' movies, the picture of the beautiful woman could not be continuously captured, and it was not real, often this second was still like this, and the next second it became like that. When he fantasized about the glazed figures, he could not guarantee the durability of the glazed figures.
This made him feel impetuous.
So Song Fanyin passed him another spell, this spell was created by Song Fanyin, when she practiced before, she often coiled on the bluestone, swallowed the moonlight to the sky, the surrounding mountains and forests were quiet, the heaven and earth were silent, the breeze came slowly, and the water waves were not rising, according to this situation, she created this spell called [Night Silence Mantra].
Chen Qinglang doesn't know this language, and he has been learning for a while, after learning it, he practiced slowly, and the more he spoke, the more familiar he became, and in this process, he unconsciously seemed to be sitting cross-legged on the bluestone, a bright moon hung high in the sky, the surrounding leaves rustled, the water murmured, and the breeze blew on his body, comfortable and cool. I was in the depths of the mountains, cold and lonely.
With this loneliness, the heart seems to slowly sink into a deep cold pool, because of this cold and loneliness, the heart has reached another kind of peace.
When Miao Cheng reminded him, he realized that he had inadvertently settled down.
Many eminent monks have not been able to achieve meditation in their lifetime, but he has easily done it because of a mantra.
The subtlety of this [Night Silence Mantra" can be seen.
So when he recited this mantra, he paid more attention to it, even if he could calm his mind and keep himself from falling into it.
The balance is hard to control. It wasn't until the evening that he reached his best state and successfully visualized the glazed spirit.
The soul no longer seems to have been imagined, as if it is seen truly and clearly in its own heart, the bright moon hangs high, and a statue made of glass sits quietly, in this portrait, some places are covered with dust, and some places are transparent and clear. Compared with the two, there are still a little more clear places.
But for people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, such a transparent material is completely unbearable to be contaminated with these irregularly shaped dust.
So Chen Qinglang imagined that the true qi in his abdomen flowed, giving birth to a fresh breeze, blowing gently.
When a person is fantasizing, his mind is exerting force, so although he is fantasizing, there is really true qi flowing in his abdomen. But this time, the true qi is completely irregular, flowing towards the meridians, encountering thick meridians, immediately becoming thicker, encountering thin meridians, immediately becoming thinner, encountering harmful acupoints, directly bypassing, encountering harmless acupoints, directly passing through. He no longer needs to struggle to control, and everything becomes smooth. The true qi is unscrupulous and swaying like smoke and rain, and there are no scruples. The previous single line has become a spread of the entire surface. If you used to fish with a hook, now you are casting fish with a big net. The same river, the same people, but the harvest is completely different.
In Chen Qinglang's fantasy, the breeze emanated from the abdomen, blowing in all directions, and the impurities on the glass soul statue were blown away little by little, and the transparent and clear places slowly became more. The bright moon above his head also seemed to be getting brighter and brighter.
The soul of the god is transparent and clear, like glass. But when he dwells in the flesh for a long time, he is tainted with endless filth.
When a life comes into the world, the soul is born, and it is extremely pure. At this time, the divine soul can easily come out of its shell. Many children will be easily frightened into a stupor, and at this time the adults will gently call his name to give him his soul. When the soul returns to the body, the child's frightened emotions are perceived by the soul of the life, and then it will cry loudly.
But as people grow bigger and bigger, their bodies are polluted by countless foods, herbs, gases, and liquids, and their spirits are also defiled. Once the soul is defiled, it loses its spirituality and becomes so heavy that it cannot easily leave the body. At the same time, the filth is like glue, connecting the body and the soul, so that the soul cannot easily fly away.
This matter is actually a good thing for ordinary people, so that the soul will not be easily scattered because of some things. Every time a soul leaves the body, it consumes a lot of energy, so some people feel weak after being frightened or otherwise stimulated. There are also people who will be seriously ill, this is because the soul is too fragile, after coming out of the shell, it will be injured by the breeze, light, sound and even impure air, and be damaged, once the soul is injured, the body will be weak, and it will be sick. But some gods and souls are too seriously injured, so they can't be recuperated no matter what, and they will die of illness directly.
Some people are directly scared to death, this is after the soul leaves the body, I don't know how to come back, and finally the soul is scattered, and the person will naturally die.
Therefore, it is a very good thing for ordinary people that the soul is contaminated with filth, becomes heavy, loses spirituality, and is tightly connected with the physical body by "glue". But for the cultivators, it is the first problem that needs to be solved on the road to the future.
The physical body will eventually decay, but the soul can reach eternity through cultivation.
Because the physical body is a substance, but the divine soul is not, the divine soul is a void-like existence, but through cultivation, it can achieve the same texture as matter, but its essence remains the same, so it ultimately has all the characteristics of matter, but it does not decay with time like matter.
If a person wants to cultivate, he must strip the soul from the body, otherwise the two will be mixed with each other, and the soul will be wrapped in the body, and it will not be possible to cultivate at all. It's like a zongzi wrapped in a reed leaf, and although it exists, you can't eat it if you don't peel it out. And if you don't let the soul out of the body, you can't directly exert energy on it and make it powerful.
Of course, the zongzi can also be eaten without peeling, and the reed leaves will be mixed together with the zongzi, which is equivalent to the soul and the body being more adulterated and inseparable, the soul is not pure, and the natural cultivation cannot be improved. Of course, you can also eat it with the reed leaves and then spit out the chewed reed leaves. However, before the divine soul is strong enough to a certain extent, it must rely on the protection of the physical body to exist for a long time. Therefore the leaf of the reed must not be broken, it must be whole.
This requires that in the early stage of cultivation, people should make their souls pure, be able to enter and leave their bodies freely, and make their bodies strong and able to protect their souls very well.
"That bright moon is your soul itself, your thoughts, your thoughts, the origin of everything you perceive. And the glass you see, is slowly extended from the bright moon, is the extension of the soul, is the place of the soul, when the child is born, the soul is just a small white mang, and so the body gradually grows up, the white mang slowly strong, extending out a glass humanoid soul. This is to better fit with the human body, so that the roots and feet of the soul reach everywhere, so that you can freely control your body, so that your body can be alive, and it can become living flesh and blood, not a dead carbon-based substance. Some people are born with disabilities, their muscles atrophy, and their upper body continues to grow, but their legs grow slowly or cannot grow, because the extension ability of the white mangs is too weak, and the soul matter does not reach the legs, so the legs lose their vitality. Some people who are injured when they are young, such as having their legs broken, will also not be able to grow, because the soul substance that extends over is injured in the flesh at the same time, and it itself is injured, and there is a shadow, and it does not dare to extend there further. If this person learns the method of cultivation and his soul is strong, he will be able to slowly extend it again naturally or artificially, and his legs will naturally return to normal. It will regain its growth, and it will naturally regain control and will be able to move around again. ”
When Chen Qinglang was about to leave, he raised some questions, and now Song Fanyin calmly explained these questions to him.
"The moonlight is bright, which proves that your soul is strong and your spirit is strong, and the clear glass means that your three souls and seven souls are not defiled and have spirituality. The brighter the moonlight and the clearer the glass, the more spiritual and strong the soul, while the darker the moonlight and the more turbid the glass, the more filthy and weak the soul. The reason why people will grow old is because with the severity of the filth, the soul is slowly weakening, and the body cannot give enough energy support, the soul will become weaker and weaker, and the body will become more and more decayed, which is a vicious circle, and finally people will get sick, will die of old age, the soul will dissipate, and the body will decay. The lifespan of some animals is extremely short, because when they draw water and food from the outside world, they are not hygienic, and they are more polluted than humans. Only a few creatures are born with extraordinary nature, and even if they are contaminated with more filth than humans, they still live longer than humans. Like trees, dirt is filth to man, but it is nourishment...... Like turtles, there are some outstanding individuals whose environment is not better than that of people, but they can live longer than people. But generally speaking, they are still living in accordance with the basic principles of the spirituality of the soul of the bright moon glaze, and living, decaying, and dying. Only by cultivating the Tao and strengthening the soul can we fundamentally solve these problems. ”
Chen Qinglang listened to it, and sighed constantly in his heart.
Soul, body, knots, minds...... This is actually a different kind of science.
The science of this world is the science of matter, the science of cultivation, and the science of spirit.
Some spells naturally have their theoretical basis in spiritual science, and the more you know about it, the more you will find that in fact, everything is not so mysterious.
Everything has its logic and foundation.
In the preface to his work Principles of the Philosophy of Law, Hegel said that being is reasonable, and that is it.
Note: Existence is reasonable, not to say that existence is reasonable, but to say that existence is reasonable.
